20 Death Pt.2
<<Ethel POV>>
"Ah f*ck! It hurts dammit!!" I screamed, holding my bleeding leg while Nero bandaged it. Damn f*ckers the whole lot of them!
"Who told you get shot like a bitch?" He said hiding a sneer, which I noticed all too clearly. This little bitch wants to go against me, huh?!
"Shut it you damn bastard! Just you wait ti-!" I stopped in my tracks once the doors opened, with the Boss coming in. F*cking fat baldy, with no other job than to bitch over others! Che!!
"Ethel." He started off in his weird tone. Nochlat, no nonchlat or something!
"Yes, Boss." I replied, visibly ticked off.
"We'll be going tomorrow. Ethel, can you make it?" He said, eyeing my bandaged wound. Fat bitch, always looking for a way to sit me out, even though I've saved their dumb asses many times!
"But Boss, are we letting the Doctor's kids go?" I said trying to shift his attention. I wasn't going to let those little fuckers go anyway! How dare they injure me!!
"Didn't the kid do that?" He pointed at my leg again. F*cker! Why don't you stop looking?!!
"Do you think you'll be able to stop yourself from killing him then?" He added, twisting his lips with a bad face.
"No way!" I screamed. Those little f*ckers are going to get what's coming for them! They better hope that they don't see me again, or I'll f*cking massacre them!!
"Then let them go. Tomorrow's job needs to be done perfectly. There can be no mistakes, else…" He added with a deadly tone. Just because he's got the backing of the Military Police, this f*cker!!
I couldn't do anything else except nod. Looks like I'll have to take care of them later…
"Now go. Joshua and Nero will be tagging along as well, so don't start a fight." He said, finally leaving the place.
"Just leave it to me boss." Nero added with that shitty smile. Damn these bastards!
"See the boss trusts me more!" Nero turned proudly to me, acting like a stupid f*cker. I huffed looking at his pathetically swollen mug.
'Son of a bitch! I'll kill you soon!!' I swore, leaving the hideout. That whore should be at the house by now... I'll just kill time with her then!
<<Karl POV>>
[Host has ended Memory Sharing]
With Isa's words, I opened my eyes to a familiar ceiling. I was back in my room, far away from that Ethel bastard.
'Tomorrow, huh? That was close one...'
I whispered to myself, sighing in relief at the dead of night, while I lay on my bed. I can't believe I was so damn lucky!
It had been quite a close call and if not for that Bastard snooping around us earlier today and messing up, I'd have never found out. Then…
Shaking my head, I tried to look at the bright side. Thanks to the Bastard, I now knew how to get to the kidnappers' lair and end their pathetic life for good.
But, what made it all possible was a very special skill! In fact, it was the first skill I bought from the Skill tab that unlocked when I reached Lvl: 05!!
<+>
[Inspect* Lvl: 01]
[Type: Special Active]
[Summary: User may acquire the information about the subjects' stats as well as real time physical and mental states of said subject.]

[*This skill has a registered Unique Ability]
<+>
Looking at the blue box before me, I couldn't help but feel ecstatic. This was quite OP, if I do say so myself!
And, it better be, since I had to spend a huge amount of Gene Points for this. Even with a 'First Purchase' discount, I still had to give up the entirety of my savings…
At least I've won my bet… I thought, cheering myself up. The skill itself could be considered great, but there was a reason it was in the Special category.
You guessed it! It's because of this skill's Unique Ability! (This is kinda becoming a catchphrase, no?)
<+>
[Unique Ability ;]
[Memory Sharing]
[Summary: User can access memories the subject has experienced in real time or access memories of the past within one day of consuming the subject's blood. This feature can be used a single time a day.]
[Cost: 15 Stamina]
<+>
Meaning that I would be able to see all his memories in real time, after I've consumed just a bit of his blood. Also, memories of 24 hours before the blood was shed could also be viewed. Pretty neat, right?
Even the memory I was seeing just now was from a few hours ago. Although I couldn't hear his thoughts, I could still guess them based on his emotions.
Right now, the ability might not seem too OP, but it's power should increase as the level of the skill, [Inspect], increases.
Since they're going to do it tomorrow, I should try to be one step ahead of them, right?
'Now, to hunt myself some dogs…' I thought, slowly exiting my bed. Taking a dark enough cloth to wrap around my face, I left my room carefully.
'A few kitchen knives should be enough.' I thought as I snuck downstairs carefully, as to not make a single sound. Picking up a few kitchen knives and storing them in my inventory, I left the house through an open window.
With one last look at my Status Window and Inventory, I prepared myself for the upcoming battle.

Although I had lower amount of stats than the bastards, I still had the confidence to kill them all individually. Hell, I'd actually massacre them in a one on one fight!
"Let's do this!" I pepped myself up, stretching my body a bit. With that, I began sprinting towards my destination, for I had a few rabid dogs to put down.
Illuminated only by the light of the night sky, I felt the cold breeze under my mask as the silence of the night pervaded. Soon enough I ran outside of the district, with full focus on my destination.
Half an hour later, I was halfway through the destination, just as I heard a familiar ringing sound in my head. Recognizing it as the alarm for emergencies, I stopped right in my tracks.
'What's the matter Isa?' I asked as I couldn't help but feel a certain coldness invading my heart.
[Reminder for Extreme Emotions shown by Subject 03]
"Subject 03…? Mikasa?!!" I mumbled with palpable shock as I swallowed a mouthful of dry saliva.
In fact, I did set up an alarm, just in case I was never able to find the kidnappers, but...
'Why is that ringing now?!' My breath quickened as I began feeling desperate...!
"Please… don't…!!" I mumbled, hoping that my fears would only remain as fears
'No f*cking way…!!!' I thought as my paranoia ran wild. Quickly opening the screen, I blankly stared at her emotions, trying to delude myself that this was just a dream…
Yet, the bitter truth of reality was right in front of me, staring at me with a sneer, almost as if it were mocking my efforts...

'F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck…' I mumbled incoherently, as I legs buckled and my mind refused to accept reality…
For that was all that I could do now…
